All things come to an end. Guy pulled a left in front of me and car is totaled.
Basically insurance screwed me and I’m left with nothing. If anyone wants to buy a set of Vitz RS taillights that’s about all I have for sale. $200+shipping

That sucks.

Why isn't insurance paying?

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAh. Well, since you were already making payments for your car, then just get a new one? I know it sucks but that's the thing with a loan that's worth more than the car. (not sure how much you still owed)

Also, the accident doesn't look THAT bad. Can you repair it? Or maybe not, the frame must be bent.

As I said on Instagram, super sorry to see this, but glad you weren't seriously injured.

To throw you under the bus a little lol are you really thinking about getting a Honda next?

Ideally I’d love to pick this up since it’s close by https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171121/27033772ccf1440a4611654c0b608f46.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171121/f7b16fa1d465dc5767594abc6cd09547.jpg
But I honestly have no money what so ever now. So I’ll be pursuing an early year NA Miata for the time being.

Great looking 3-door(my favorite Yaris color)! My only question is why there's no pics of the engine? Being a turbo you would think they would take at least 1 of the engine bay!

Also, glad you're ok.

Ya it is quite weird but I figure the previous is probably on here somewhere because there’s definitely gotta be microimage parts on it

That sounds nearly too good to be true. Hopefully it checks out.

Well thing is I’d need to get a loan for it since insurance completely boned me

Yeah, that's a bitch. But at $5800, maybe you could get a small personal loan, or line of credit, from your bank, or credit union.

Fingers crossed, bro!

[zoidberg444]

Man. That is sad bro. Its a write off by the looks of it.

I know how getting boned by insurance is. Its why i drive my beaten up rusty POS car because my insurance is basically worthless. If i get into a collision. I'll just get a shitty £800 Yaris off eBay or a Cat d write off from a scrap yard and fix it out of my own pocket. I'm probably still ahead paying extra for insurance that will most likely screw me anyway.

This makes me sad... sorry to see the poor car go out like that

I didn’t even see a notification for this I apologize. But yes I did pick up a 1999 Volkswagen Passat 1.8t 5 speed. Still unsure of what I want my next big purchase to be but this is my $600 beater daily. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180115/d5472fd842553a8d158759006f06615b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180115/ca8dbd985366b425e84a18ec2212aeaf.jpg

Good luck with a VW. Mine was all bad.

Trust me I know lol I had a 1988 cabriolet already. Money pits but I needed a way of getting to work through the snow. So far I’m $800 in repairs but I should be good for at least a year with everything I did after giving it a solid look over

That 1.8 turbo engine is a nightmare. Best of luck mate. You will need it. [emoji21]

Boy do I know it. My first purchases were boost gauge and oil pressure gauge with a steering column mount dual pod. I have a ton of VW/Audi tech friends and they warned me of the oil flow issues the 1.8t has and common occurrence of sludge buildup.

You better start with dropping the oil pan and change oil pick up or complete pump.
The pickup is often totally closed and that can soon kill the engine when the you have no oil pressure.

It’ll be going into my local VW dealer soon to gets complete flush of the oil system and they change that too I believe the job runs about $1k
I really just need this car to last at least a year or 2

I'm referring to your banner pic:

Funny, when the Echo came out I thought it was the ugliest thing ever. Now after owning my 2007 hatch for a few years the MK1 hatch, both 3dr and 4dr is really growing on me. Too bad we didn't get the hatchback in the US (I'm pretty sure we didn't :redface:)

Adam actually was able to title his echo hatch here in the states from Canada. I guess the US views it the same as the sedan/coupe so you can just go to Canada and bring one back

You're correct...i imported my RS to the USA w/o issue

UPDATE
Passat is gone. I decided it wasn’t worth fixing and used the money toward a new car

Wife has a 2016 Elantra, nice car even though its a auto. Handles really well.
It would think the sport would be real fun.
Enjoy.

Congrats, NJP. Anything is better than a VW. Had nothing but TROUBLE with my Golf. Never again. Hope you like your Elantra.
